Prof. S. L. Bowen Speaks Monday night, Nov. 12, Prof. S. L. Bowen of Bunn, addressed the Parent-Teacher Association of the Gold Sand School.

We must remember the costs- of war, materially and physically and struggle to so train our children r:iat they may foresee the evils of war and their devotion to their i..nd and homes.

Shaffer, Cornelius To Stage Run ning Battle Great Halfbacks Of Duke And Carolina To Match Speted And Elusiveness In Saturday Tussle At Chapel Hill ? Also See Punting Duel Durham, Nov. 13. ? A running duel between a pair of the South s 1 greatest ball-carriers ? Corky Cor nellui of Duke and Charles Shaf fer of Carolina? headlines the list of individual attractions In the an nual classis of classics between the Blue Devils and the Tar Heels at Chapel Hill on Saturday. Shatter after two weeks on the sidelines due to an injury, is slat ed to return to action in the best of shape against the Blue Devils. | He has been the running ace of | the Tar Heels this season and one iof the outstanding stars of the leam. Corky One of Ui-eatest I The side-wheeling Cornelius has taken his place this season as one of the greatest backs in Duke his tory. His extraordinary ground gaining record has kept the Blue Devils in the running all season and he has shown himself to be one of the greatest backs in the country. The game Saturday will proba bly be the hardest test of the sea son for each of them. Duke's de fenders will be watching the elus ive Shaffer just as the Tar Heels will keep all eyes on the powerful Cornelius. But those two boys will have to be watched mighty well to be completely stopped, and since i both teams have other fine run ning backs it is not likely that i their respective defenses can be built to stop any one man. In Punt Duel, Too Shaffer will engage Duke's sophomore threat. Ace Parker, in a punting duel that is expected to . be one of the best in the South this season. Both are kickers of [ the first rank and many booming punts are promised in Saturday^ 1 contest. The two teams come up to this ' all-important encounter with just about as close to the same records | for the season as could be. Both have lost one game ? to Tennessee ? although Carolina was tied by State. The two teams appear to | be about evenly matched in skill. ' Carolina will hold a weight ad | vantage in both line and back 1 field. New Grocery and Filling Station ' Mr. James B.

Subscribe to The KranKiin Times C ? m ? 0 Cooley Intercedes For Franklin Man Judge Lectures Fourth Dis trict Representative On Work of Congress? Re consideration Brings Fine Raleigh, Nov. 9. ? Of course, I know you didn't have anything to do with it, but Congress made these laws and it's my duty to enforce them. Thus, in effect, did Federal Judge I. M. Meekins jovially lecture the fourth dis trict's new Congressman, Harold D. Cooley, in court yesterday. Intercession by the Congress man resulted, however, in the halving of sentence of four months imposed Wednesday on G. L. Bobbitt, Franklin County re lief administrator, for accepting Illegal fees from World War vet erans. ? Bobbitt, former service officer of his American Legion post, was convicted of receiving $117 in "expense money" from four vet erans whom he assisted in secur ing compensation money. Leading citizens of Louisburg sent letters and -petitions testify ing to Bobbitt's worthiness and Congressman Cooley employed his eloquence in behalf of the man in open court. Bobbitt did not have counsel at his trial Wednes day. I "I can reduce his sentence to 60 days, if he's the kind of man you say he is." Judge Meekins told Congressman Cooley, after refusing to place Bobbitt on pro bation. The Congressman had \ declared that four hours in jail I would mean as much to the Frank I lin County man as four months I to a confirmed criminal. I * LET OFF WITH FIXE A further consideration of the above case was granted and given ] by Judge Meekins Wednesday, ! which after hearing Bobbitt's side | and an appeal by Congressman I Cooley resulted as follows: | G. L. Bobbitt. Franklin County 1 relief administrator convicted of | accepting illegal fees from war j veterans was allowed to paya fine i of $50 and go free in Federal ] court Wednesday. Progressively, since his trial I last week. Bobbitt's sentence was ; reduced from four months to 60 j days and then to the fine, upon the pleas of Congressman Harold | D. Cooley and prominent citizens of Louisburg.
